"I recently dined at this Italian restaurant with my family, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. We tried a variety of dishes, each leaving a lasting impression. For the main course, the Numero Sei pizza stole the show. Its melt-in-the-mouth texture, soft interior, and perfectly crunchy crust made it a standout. Infused with Italian sausage, salami, and mushrooms over a fresh tomato sauce, and finished with bubbling mozzarella, this pizza was a symphony of flavours. The Melanzane alla Parmigiana offered another indulgent delight. The rich tomato sauce smothered the luscious aubergine, creating a mouthwatering combination that was enhanced by a generous layer of cheese. The Bufalina pizza, my personal choice, was a homemade masterpiece. The pizza boasted a perfectly cooked base – crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The beautiful and creamy buffalo mozzarella, complemented by the deep basil, added layers of flavor that delighted the taste buds. We concluded our culinary journey with two distinct desserts. The Chocolat Souflé provided a sweet and decadent ending, while the Gnocchi con Nutella, featuring gnocchi filled with Nutella and vanilla ice cream, was a unique and delightful treat. Beyond the exceptional food, the staff contributed significantly to our positive experience. The team was not only lovely but also engaged with us, providing insightful recommendations. Their friendly demeanor added to the overall warmth of the restaurant. The ambiance and decor were equally praiseworthy. The beautiful restaurant created a welcoming atmosphere that enhanced our dining experience. From the moment we entered, we felt the charm of the surroundings, making it a memorable evening for my family. In conclusion, this Italian restaurant not only offers an outstanding menu but also stands out for providing exceptional value for money. The Bufalina pizza, in particular, highlights their commitment to quality without compromising affordability. I eagerly anticipate my next visit to relish more of their delightful offerings, all while appreciating the budget-friendly aspect that makes this dining experience truly extraordinary."

"sora lella is amazing! my partner and I shared the creamy chicken and pepper starter, then the meat had solid calzone and four cheese penne for the net. each dish was so warming, fresh and tasty, and we wish we had the time to visit again on our short trip. eating is comparable, but I would honestly say better than all non-vegan equivalents and it was really hard to believe that the food we ate was vegan, especially the cheese elements of the dishes that were all perfection. service was also a great highlight. the whole restaurant was full when we went on a Saturday night, but despite being attentive, eating quickly came out and the two servers were generally only beautiful. Both worked very hard, as it was so busy, but the whole atmosphere never reflected that they had helped on negative wise to create a very relaxed environment and there was a great uplift over the restaurant. they also offered us some free limoncellos, as we celebrated my birthday, which was really sweet. the restaurant was clean, cozy and the tables were well separated. portions were really generous and cheap. in total just a really amazing culinary experience and so glad to see that this place won edinburgh trattoria of the year 2021, as it clearly deserves it keeps its own to each non-vegan Italian restaurant I have been, and there is obviously much love and passion that goes into the restaurant and eat. can not wait to visit again in edinburgh."
